Lyrics

[Verse 1] Orange and lemon Raincoats roll and tumble Together, just liked fruit tipped from a tray Pineapple wet heads Watch new hairdos crumble As scenery sunlight shifts away [Chorus] Ballet for a rainy day Silent film of melting miracle play [Verse 2] Apples and cherries (Apples and cherries) Are varnished in water Despite, striped awnings bright dismay I push my paintbrush (I push my paintbrush) To conjure a new world While this one is slowly washed away [Chorus] Ballet for a rainy day Silent film of melting miracle play Dancing out there through my window To the backdrop of a slow descending grey [Bridge] When it rains, it rains All the colors in my paintbox When it rains, it rains Tickets for the front row seats Up on the rooftops [Verse 3] Orange and lemon (Apples and cherries) Raincoats roll and tumble Together, dropped in diamond disarray [Chorus] Ballet for a rainy day Silent film of melting miracle play Dancing out there through my window Behind the curtain silver falling Ballet for a rainy day Silent film of melting miracle play Dancing out there through my window To the backdrop of a slow descending grey
